Good call, issued in "monstereo"
Nobody's mentioned off the bone that's a good Cramps album.
recently been re-re-released on CD with a bonus live version of You've got good taste.

You might like this...Bucketful by The Tandoori Knights.
It's the b-side of a 7" called Pretty Please. It's hard to believe that this is from...2009 - it sounds not unlike The Cramps with Howlin' Wolf on vocals. To my ears anyway!
Whatever, I love it.

one more, Gallon Drunk.
R'n'r focused with a Link wray bent.
Good enough for the Bad Seeds to nick one of the main instrumentalists.
though they never really clicked enough with me to follow their career too closely.
Originally featured the flatmate of Kim Salmon of The scientists on drums. that's another band to check out. i love the hoodoo swamp reverb drenched mini lp blood Red River. rhythm section is great. Brett rixon aping the rhythm of Suicide on drums and Boris Sjudovic's one note basslines. They remained good when Rixon left, phil the Canadian was on drums on the best gig I saw by them at the Paradiso in '85.
anyway, unless you want to start going through all the Cramps multihued influences that's a few to start with.
Uk psychobilly scene seemed a lot less multidimensional with a couple of exceptions. Purple Things morphed into Terminal Cheesecake to some extent for one. Wolfhounds gave birth to Moonshake. Both those initial bands might be more garage though.
There's also the Inca Babies who I think of as a garage level Birthday Party, but Mick Harvey hearing them said 'much more like The Cramps than us'. Name may or may not be a bad pun on 'Baby In Car'.

"Beasts of Bourbon" was a band that had a lead singer that for a time my friends and I were sure was Lux sidelining. Very much in the vein of the Cramps.
